CURRICULUM

The curriculum will focus on leadership and business analysis skills. Participants in CMLA's FMLC program can expect to:

• Get a strategic perspective of the future of the mortgage industry delivered by industry leaders

• Gain insight into the various channels and components of the mortgage lending industry and how they all work together

• Learn about the federal legislative process and issues relating to real estate finance

• Become actively involved with one of the CMLA domains (education, representation, or networking)

• Work in teams to develop a holistic approach to community economic development and its impact on housing and commercial development

• Graduate at CMLA's Annual Convention

Members of each class will participate in a series of six courses throughout the year focusing on leadership, business analysis, and decision-making skills. Because peer involvement is a key part of the Future Leaders curriculum, participants should commit to attend each session. Class members will also participate in monthly conference calls related to subjects under discussion.
